How An Experienced Adoption Attorney Can Help

Adoption attorneys are familiar with all adoption laws and requirements, including the process of termination of parental rights and the voluntary relinquishment of parental rights. An adoption attorney also can help:

Determine the expected costs related to an adoption, including health care and delivery costs.

Provide unbiased explanation of the various types and methods of adoption.

Resolve any problems that arise between birth parents and adoptive parents during the adoption process.

Represent the clients’ interests in court, if necessary.

Create a plan for post-adoption communication between birth parents and adoptive parents, if desired.

Adoption law protects the rights and interests of birth parents, adoptive parents and children. It is a highly technical area, with rules varying among states and countries, in the case of international adoptions. Adoption law is most efficiently and effectively practiced by those who have experience in this area. For more information on our adoption attorney services, contact Michele Smith today.
